Zoneminder 1.27 Add monitor button gray

Post by ezechial »

Hello,

I have installed ubuntu 12.04 server with Zoneminder 1.27. I also restored old 1.26.5 database to the new installation and converted it to 1.27 database. The problem is that now the Add monitor button is gray and I can't add new monitors. In old installation everything worked fine. Another thing that has come out is that few cameras goes to red and back to green, not at the same time but every now and then and one goes down and comes back, and the signal loses at the same time. We have 25 cameras in 1 Gb lan network, that is dedicated only for the cctv cameras, so there is not any other traffic. Server has 1 Gb nic. that camera dropping is not that big thing, but that button problem is big problem.. Has anyone got this kind of problem and fixed it?

Hi,

Check your cambozola package installation and symlinks. I believe it's somethigns related to this.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I'll check cambozola install and symlinks and get back after that.

I checked the cambozola install and the cambozola.jar was missing. I installed it, but it did not help any on the problems.

I will check my notes at home. This happened to me some time ago and the fix were the symlinks for cambozola.

I wonder, that can this problem be related some odd way to the database restore and convert that I made for the old database? Can the convert process somehow corrupt database?
